ALEXANDER DUMAS.

The French Litterateur Who Has Dared
to Criticise Victor Hugo.
Alexander Dumas is just now the mos
prominent literary man in France. The SUI
cess Of his latest drama, the wit and JUDI
ment Of his late orntion on Victor Hugo, and
the fact that his name brings associations Of
literary greatness, all combine to make him
best known to Americans Of any French
writer since Hugo. And the name Dumas

objected to. So the Austrian mission re-
NAMED vacant till the recent appointment.
Among the first acts of the president In
the first part of his term was to
appoint Gen. Lawton minister to
Russia; but q curious question rose
as to whether he was eligible He had been
educated at West Point, and afterward served
in the Confederate army; 50 he came within
the penalties prescribed by the Fourteenth
amendment. But on Feb 8, 1867, before
that amendment was adopted, he received .
free and unconditional pardon from President
Andrew johnson, and now the issue was as
to whether that pardon merely relieved him
from the possibility OF punishment. or
whether it operated as a complete bar to any
subsequent law disqualifying him from hold
ing office. The judiciary committee Of tine
senate took the former view, the president
and Attorney General Garland the latter;
the president again appointed Gen. Lawton.
but the latter declined the honor, and ap-
piled to congress for complete amnesty. The
first act passed by the Forty-ninth congress
to be signed by President Cleveland, on
Dec. &c 1889, was an act removing tho dis.
abilities OF Gen. Lawton. He was thereafter
as eligible as any American, and on the 18th
Kelley, retired. The Austrian minister il
received at Washington, and diplomatic
courtesies are renewed between the old en-
pire and the young republic.
Alexander Lawton was horn at Beaufort,
s. c., in 1918. but nearly all his active life has
been spent in Georgia. He entered West Point
in 1895, was graduated in due course, spent
nearly two years in regular army service,
then resigned and settled in Savannah, where
he has since remained in the practice Of law.
He served in both houses of the Georgia legis-
lat,ve and as president Of the Augusta and
Savannah railroad. When the war broke
out he entered tue service at once, was soon
made brigadier and served through the en-
tire war with distinction. In 1875 he was a
member of the legislature and candidate for
United States senator, but was defeated by
Joseph E. Brown. He has for some time been
attorney for the Central Railroad Of Georgia
and was arguing a case before the supreme
court of the United States when appointed.

The apathy manifested in stock centers
to movements tending to the establish
ment of refrigerators seems Incredible,
especially when taking into consideration
to state like Texas whose financial pros
perity is so completely Identified with the
cattle interests. II is true spasmodic Ell
forts have been made in this direction,
and at this time San Antonio, Houston
and Fort Worth are aglta'ing the qUes-
ton, but so dilatory is action that the
northwest will i 1887, as in years past,
step in before them and gain the benefit OF
their slowness. There is a suggestion
made in the Texas Live Stock Journal OF
last week worthy of thought, and THE
GAZETTE, whose columns reach all
classes, reprints the article in the hope
that it may be the means of initiating q
movement which will result in placing
the refrigerating business on sure basis,
and give the entire state the profit of an
industry which is in no sense local in its
benefits:
The Fort Worth refrigerator works are now
being fitted up to do a large ice business in de
fault Of the owner b ling able to raise the nee
essary funds to proceed with slsughterlng of
cattle. The owner i5 still negotiating for
means to o crate the works as beef refr gera-
tor to thu full capacity of the plant, but in case
Of failure TO carry out his plans he is simply
arranging to handle the works to the best d.
vantage to the extent of his limited means.
Since the refrigerator question became so gen.
orally talke of in stock circles no hing CT any
practical benefit has been done toward opening
up refrigerator in Texas during the
beef season of 1857, and If some
thing is not done to bring the matter
to a head shortly, the Chicago syndicate, on
whom Texas stockmen declared war by REQ
luton last March, will have another opper-
tunity 10 hand e the whole beef crop of Texas,
without the shadow of competition where the
cattle are raised, and the Chicago combination
will not fail to do the business to their own
satisfaction. 1t is now common talk that the
Chi ago syndicate steal the cattle; instead,
they simply catch a an in a tight and legtti
mately squeeze the price down TO he lowest
limit. There Is no mercy in business, and the
syndicate will show none. II the cattle can be
had for 4 cent per pound the syndicate Will OF
pay fraction over the price.
The stockmen have come to the conclusion
that only con petition will restore values, but
the stockmen with few exceptions) have taken

ADDS POL GAMY.

If polygRmy, as represented by the
Church of Latter Day Saints in Utah and
a few adjacent territories, doesn't go out
of business now it will net be the fault of
Congress, for the conference report bill
passed by the Senate last Saturday is as
stringent measure against the many
wived system as legal ingenuity could
well devise. The Mermons say they lind
the Bdmunds bill, now in force in Utah,
very hard lines. They will find the new
law harder. indeed, it is difficult to see,
if the measure is enforced as provided,
how polygamy can survive six months
after this bill goes into effect. 1t must
be confessed that its provisions are very
drastic, SO much so that one can hardly
escape feeling Of regret that it Is neces-
sary to enact such legislation for the
government of the people of any portion
of our common country. But grave all
ments require heroic treatment, and past
efforts at the suppression of poIygamy
have demonstrated that it cannot
be downed save by measures so sure in
their severity that people will instinctively
shrink from the penalties. The present
generation of Mormons, Or rather those
who have precticed and thrived upon the
polygamous system, Will die embittered,
but in few years the mass of the people
in Utah will recognize the benefits, moral
and practical, Of the changed order of
things, and what has so long been dark
shame to our people and government will
be blotted out forever. 1t is high time
polygamy should go.

THE index finger of times dial points
to an hour when women Will more gener-
ally show an ability to manage large bust
ness enterprises, and not content them
selves with subordinate positions.
Women are being so trained in these days
that already they begin to feel their ab!li-
ty to take care of themselves, and if the
laws of heredity amount to anything those
qualities which in the past have enaoled a
woman to govern household will, by edu-
cation, be easily converted into business
qualifications enabling her to cope with
those of office, store and workshop.
There is no need to ask for rights when
once her powers are well disciplined; she
will receive them at every hand without
opposition.

no steps to help, aid or assist any enterprise
leading t. the esta blishment Of a market, or 10
the placing in opersti N refrigerator plsnt.
The last chance Tor them to do so is at the
spring meetings of the District Cattle Associa
tions in Texas. Stockmen as body are not
likely to go into the business of refrigerating
beef, Some few individuals might do SO, but
the associations can not and there only remains
one thing TO DO, and that is tAe Offering of a
bonus. payable to the compauy first success
fully operating beef refrigerating plant in
Texas, or, say North Texas If northern asso
citation, or Southern Texas If a southern asso-
citation.
The cities OF the state are clamoring for re
frigerators. Let them clamor for refrigerators
as they do for railroads, and offer bonus for
them. If Dallas wants refrigerator let a sub
scription be signed up and offer a bonus for the
first refrigerating plant in operation at Dallas
within one year. Ii Fort Worth wants a refrig-
orator in full blast the practical thing TO do is
the thing suggested Offer bonus not to Tom,
nor Dick, nor Harry, but to the company or in
dividual owning the first refrigerator plant OPP
Grated in Fort Worth one full year. This is the
practical and only thing to do, and there is no
use mlncing matters, Il Will have to be done.
Without sn inducement to start a packery,
beef may reach l cent pound, and this whole
generation Of stOckmeu may be ruined before
a refrigerator p ant is started in Texas. stock
men had better act, and act intelligently, and
act at once. They are in danger.
Fort Worth, too, had better act, and act
quickly. If Fort Worth wants 20 become the
Chicago of Texas, the property owners of Fort
Worth must get their heads together and 90
something The Stock Journal does not often
advise the people of Fort Worth. In this one
instance the advice should not be sighted.

LABOR SAVING APPLIANCES

A gentleman who should be quite an
authority on matters pertaining to labor
Mr. Oberly, of the civil service ccnmis
SION is quoted as attributing large per
cent. of the labor troubles and agitation
to the steady introduction of labor saving
machinery His theory is that every year
mechanical science supplies machinery
capable OF doing the work done in this or
that branch of industry by manual labor,
and thus lessening the demand for man
ual labor, or forcing the latter TO compete
with the machinery. Manual labor sees
its field usurped and grows discontinued.
1t is possible there are workingmen who
look upon labor saving machinery as q curse
rather than blessing, and trace a large
modicum of their troubles to its introduce
ton and influence. But if such q sentiment
| does exist 1t is the result of Ignorance
or gross interpretation of the relations
of labor-s saving machinery to labor. AS
matter of fact, every Invention that has
tendency to tighten manual labor, even
to the extent of competition Herewith, is
blessing to mankind in the aggregate
There may and always will be individual
cases of hardship resulting from such
conditions, but for the few who suffer
there are untold numbers who are bene-
| flied Take LyslIs loom, as an illustra-
ton. Who can measure the extent Of its
! beneficent influence? And it is only one
of thousand lesser appliances that have
sprung up from time to time to tighten
! labor and make the necessaries and
comforts of life cheaper. Labor has such
multiform channels that the toll
ers who are displaced by ma
chinery) in one branch of industry to-
day find employment tomorrow at
something else. This is part Of the
economy of nature, and thelaw is ineyita-
| BILE. Despite the complaints of working
men about the enCroschments of ma
chinerv it is an undisputed fact that
workingmen to-day live more comforta
blv and are able to indulge in more of
the lHxuries Of life, both in this country
and Europe, than they did twenty-five
wears ago. Lsbor-saving machinery has
made this state of affairs possible by
cheapening the necessities of life IN the
way of fabrics and articles of household
use, and where it has displaced one man
it has put him to work (if willing to
work. at something else, thus steadily
increasing industries of all kinds and
furnishing employment for the steadily
increasing population of the world. 1t is
defective education that impels men to
declaim against the numerous useful in
yentions that mechanical science or in
ventive genius has given the world, and
it will be found, by impartial inYestiga-
ton, that whatever the temporary up
heavels by reason of mechanical compe-
tition with labor the adjustment has ever
been certain, practical and healthy, leav-
ing the world better off for the change.
Let US have all the lsbor-saving mschin-
cry possible; there will ever be remuner-
atiye work for willing hands to do.

AT THE labor meeting held in the Hor-
ticultural Hall in Philadelphia to nomi-
nate a candidate for mayor Mr.. Henry
George addressed the audience. From
the tenor Of his speech he certainly should
belong to labor party, fer the programme
he issues embraces some heavy Jobs, and
if he does not sub-let some of the con-
tracts ne will be obliged to call on Joye to
help him. For any man to undertake the
demolition Of the American tariff. the
Catholic church, and personal proprietor
ship in real estate, shows confidence in
his own powers which makes the thought
full skeptical as to his ability to lead in
such formidable changes. What he does
in the way of reform must needs be done
quickly, that is, if Rev. NJ. Baxter of
England be among the prophets. There
are, according to him, only thirteen more
years allotted this dispensation, and then
the money changers tables will be over
thrown and land unequally distrib-
uted by an agency not set down
in any of the works on po
litical economy. 1t would be sad to
disappoint the presidential aspirations
which were limited at by the gentleman
who introduced the speaker, but if, as
Mr.. Baxter prophesies, there is to be no
country in 1900, why begin the great up
heaval prematurely?

THE Waco Examiner forgets OF
Ignores the fact that the public lands lie
west of Fort Worth, and the further fact
that the area tributary to Fort Worth's
trade is neither so circumscrlbed nor
competed for as is that of Dallas. A
close study of the map of Texas and the
Comptroller's reports for the past six
years will be s mine of information to
the Examiner, and while the Waco paper
is studying map and reports let it keep
one eye on the railroad map of the state
north of Austin.
